[QUOTE="missy789, post: 396060, member: 68871"] Hi, well your not alone mate! I need to lose a fair bit myself so we'll be in this together. I had a stroke about 7 wks ago and have since lost 9kgs so it can be done. The best way to do it is a high protein, low carb diet. I'm a veggie so it's slightly harder for me but I eat alot of eggs, cheese and long release carbs such as beans peas and lentils. They keep your BG steady while still giving you a feeling of being full and satified. Are you on insulin or insulin resistant? It can be alot harder to lose weight if you are but dont give up hope. Cut down on things like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta and increase your protein and veg, salads etc. Eat protein if you feel hungry or have a large plate of salad, that will fill you up without many calories. Dont worry if you have a bad day, we all get them, just go back to the "diet" the next day and aiming that high for weight loss can be disheartening esp if you plateau out for a while. It's just your body's way of adjusting to the new you, it happens to us all and dont starve yourself either, your body will go into starvation mode and actually stops you losing weight! Eat regularly, at least 6 small meals a day rather than 3 large ones. and like I say more protein than carbs and plenty of veg/salad, reduce your salt intake which might help too but if you like dressings use them, dont think you cant have them, you can just dont overdo it.
